New Delhi: Royal Enfield is all set to launch the 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 on September 1. The much-awaited is expected to up the ante in the cruiser bike segment that is already dominated by the Chennai-based automaker.
With the launch day nearing, several leaks giving a sneak-peak to Royal Enfield Classic 350’s design, specs and features have started to surface. Here are some of the technical specs and features of the upcoming bike:
Just like the current model, the automaker will launch the 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 in multiple colour schemes. The upcoming model of the Classic 350 is expected to come in single- and dual-channel ABS variants. While the prices of the variants are not out yet, it’s expected that you’ll have to pay more for the dual-channel ABS model.
The new bike could pack new-age features including an LCD info panel, Bluetooth connectivity, USB charger and turn-by-turn navigation system powered by Google Maps, among others.
Royal Enfield Classic 350 is expected to build on the same J platform that was first introduced with the launch of Meteor 350. Both the two-wheelers also share the same powertrain.
The bike could come with a more rounded pillion seat and an all-new tail lamp cluster. 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 is expected to sport a 13-litre fuel tank which also comes with the outgoing model.
The bike will be powered by a 349 cc single-cylinder fuel-injected engine. In the front tyre, you’ll find a 300 mm front disc while you’ll see a 270 mm rear disc with the back tyre.
The air-and-oil colled engine will be packed with a counter-balancer shaft that will reduce the vibrations of the bike, improving the riding experience.

The 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 could be lighter than its outgoing variant, thanks to the twin cradle chassis that will reduce the overall kerb weight of the two-wheeler. The current model comes with a single downtube chassis, which uses the engine as a stressed member of the bike.
